Gender Differentials in the Content of Judicial Opinions



This project explores how women judges might differ from men in their judicial process by considering the content of majority opinions. Ultimately, I find that women produce opinions that include more words and citations to various authorities.

Versions of this project were presented at SoWEPS 2024, MPSA 2024, VIM 2024, and LSA 2024.
